 MARY IMMACULATE CLINIC


 

As MPC deals with over 4200 primary school children, the issue of dealing with the health problems of the children and their families arose. A small clinic was set up to cater for these people. The clinic charges a minimum of US $0.50 for each visit. Between 60 and 100 people from the slum area attend the clinic daily.

 

There are doctors from Slovakia working as volunteers in the clinic, two nurses; a pharmacist, a registration clerk, a laboratory technician and a cleaner also work there. Mission for Essential Drugs (MEDS), which is a church-based organization, supplies the drugs and they ensure quality low cost drugs to its customers.
 

With the escalation of HIV AIDS among the population, a Voluntary Counseling and Testing Centre was established in January 2004. This centre offers free HIV/AIDS counseling and testing to the people in the surrounding slums. Many avail of this service and to date over 1500 clients have passed through. Volunteer community health workers and a registered nurse visit the slum areas on a rotational basis daily and attend to those unable to visit the clinic or those who may be bed ridden. Many lactating mothers are malnourished hence their babies suffer. A small education and feeding intervention is in progress. This is monitored very carefully and when the baby has developed sufficiently the intervention is discontinued.
